How often does this happen to you?

So, there I was, taking landscape photos in the late afternoon, in a quiet rural location in New Zealand, when, all of a sudden, not one, but eleven cars pulled up beside me on a cliff-hugging road - parking on the road itself, not even to one side - and thirty to forty camera-wielding people came running out. There were all manner of cameras - everything from iPhones and point-and-shoots, to 400Ds and Nikon D5000s, to 5Ds and 1Ds. About half were flashing uselessly into the sunset - those using Nikon D700s, with the pop-up flash, being perhaps the worst offenders - most didn't have a tripod despite the long exposures involved, and there was only one other person using (non-UV) filters. Most were clicking randomly at anything and everything for a few frenzied minutes, then, as the sun set, they were gone.

Bear in mind that I had barely seen a tourist out all day. Random? Does this often happen to you? Share your stories!

Ironically, I have had this happen recently when out aurora hunting. I noticed a weird truck following me for a long time while I was going out on the highway. Stopped at a nice spot I like to go to shoot and within 20 minutes along came another 2 cars...and then another...and then another. We were like little red and blue stars lighting up the riverbank. Someone came over and told me it was me who inspired them to start astrophotography...coo​l eh?

Considering what you've done, I'm not surprised.
